They don't, because they're not income when you deposit them. they are
income when you _receive_ them.

Upon receiving the money:
Debit to Cash
Credit to the appropriate Income account

Upon depositing the held checks and cash:
Debit to Banks
Credit to Cash

It really seems to me that you are making this much, much harder than it
needs to be. But I don't know the magic words that will make the actual
simplicity shine through.
